The holiday festivities have started!

Christmas is in full bloom here in the Algarve, everywhere you go there are Christmas lights and decorations, and every city has its own unique look of holiday lighting. In Faro, Forum Shopping has done a beautiful job again with their Christmas tree, Santa and his elves are patiently listening to a long list of wishes from the little ones.

There’s also fun for the older ones of any age, you can strap on a pair of ice skates and go skating right here in Faro, you might have to watch out for a Palm tree or two but yes, real ice skating in the Algarve! Although, I took a few years of “figure skating” as a kid in Canada, don’t know how long I’d last on my feet - but too much fun to pass up, so we’ll be out here soon!

Cities across Algarve are also starting to announce their holiday plans, so no shortage of fun things to do in the Algarve for the holidays.

First city to announce their holiday plans is Portimao with 7 days of fire, music, dance and food, starting December 31 with a 15minute fire works show. Followed by 6 more days of music, food and fun. On the final night Jan 6th, 2008 the festivities will wrap up with special guests including 52 musicians, 20 dancers in an exclusive performance by Eugen. Most events will take place at the Portimao arena.

We’ll continue to update the holiday events as they pop up!
